Potato days

[caroline7758]

Did someone post a list of potato days recently? Can't find it in search. Or does anyone know of any in the Yorkshire area?

Hi

There's one 23rd Feb at saltaire near bradford.  Very handy for the train.

Thanks, Ren- might try to get there- shame we don't have a station in Tadcaster!

More details here:

Careful, though, it's a fair bet you won't go home with just potatoes!

Caroline, I'm thinking of going to that one too (I think its also the nearest to me).  Let me know if you decide to go, perhaps we can meet up and compare notes  :)

I can't find potato days in Kent, does anyone know of anything? 

[Rosyred]

Is Buckingham the nearest to just outside London (Harrow way)

I wish we could have potatoe days down here in S wales

      For Caroline,    West Yorkshire potato day, 23rd Febuary, Shipley College,  Shipey, 10am until 2pm hope this helps.

I'm going to the London one next Sunday  ;D
Rosyred, this one might be better for you, it's in Dulwich.

Thanks Les, I wasn't sure if that one was open to the public. Will try to get there if I can. I guess the dates of potato days are a good guide to when we should be starting chitting in each area?

Did you know that the one called Anya is a cross between PFA and Desire.  It givs a slightly earlier spud than PFA and without all the knobbly bits so easier to scrape.
